COC Karnataka congratulates the more than five lakhs of participants in the historic March to Parliament on 23rd February at the call of Central Trade Unions for making this rally the biggest ever mobilization in the Capital City. Raising the basic policy issues of the working people and all sections of downtrodden, the Trade Unions have sent a powerful message to UPA-II Government that it should change its policies so as to end the deprivations of the working people.
